The sale of children's clothing containing images
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A brother trades in children's clothing. He purchased a quantity of shirts and trousers bearing images and drawings of living beings, some of which are full faces and others are just lines. When he was informed of the prohibition of this, he stopped buying such clothing. However, he has a quantity of jeans remaining, or he has a quantity of jeans left in his store, and he is unable to return them. At the same time, he will incur a loss if he leaves them. What is your guidance in this matter? May Allah preserve you.
Answer:
Yes, as the questioner mentioned, selling clothing that contains images is not permissible. Likewise, it is not permissible for a Muslim, whether young or old, to wear clothing that contains images, because this is a form of using and promoting images.
Also, a person might pray while wearing them, and it is forbidden for a person to pray in a garment that contains images. In any case, it is not permissible to sell clothing that contains images, nor is it permissible to wear them.
The questioner can, if he has a quantity of them, alter these images by sewing over them. For example, he can give them to a tailor to cover the heads of these images by sewing over them, and then sell them afterwards. The important thing is that he obscures the heads of these images by giving them to the tailor to cover them with stitching. Yes.
